For Hojo:✪🔅 For Tristan:💣✘ // some attention for the non-mainstream peeps :D

More & More! Headcanons - accepting

Hojo

✪: Have they ever let a rare opportunity slip them by?

He has. Probably more than one, but I think the one that he secretly regrets would be not having taken advantage of his position to become a more important figure in Sephiroth’s life.

🔅: What’s a place that holds special meaning to them? Why?

Nibelheim. It’s a bittersweet place for him, where he genuinely felt something he tentatively identifies as love (if only to himself) and had it ripped away shortly after. It was the first time he killed someone deliberately. And it was also the place of Sephiroth’s birth.

Tristan

💣: Did they ever get caught in a situation because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Oh god, so many times. XD When Tristan first started his business, he hadn’t thought to put in neutrality rules, so there were times clients would come by at random, run into someone they didn’t like, and there would be a scuffle right outside his door, or one or two memorable occasions inside his house.

He has since then implemented a rule that people keep any fighting far away if they want to receive his services.

✘: Who do they detest the most? Do they typically avoid this person or antagonize them?

There’s some gang leaders that Tristan just can’t stand, but at the top of that list is AVALANCHE 1.0, and at the top of that, Fuhito. It’s not that he’s particularly pro-ShinRa, but their casual attitude towards casualties - especially civilian “collateral damage” - gets under his skin. If they were honest about their methods and not pretending they had the moral highground, he might be slightly more tolerant.

(He’s also got a bone to pick with both the President and Heidegger, but that has more to do with growing up in the Slums than a specific, personal issue.)

In all cases, he’s largely conflict avoidant... but if he gets the opportunity to enable one of their opponents, he’s not necessarily going to pass that up.

genesis hc + romance, lazard hc + mother, hojo hc + late nights

send me “hc + word” (and a muse) and I will write a headcanon about it || still accepting

Genesis - romance

Genesis is an unrepentant and sometimes stereotypical romantic, though it can manifest somewhat differently for different partners. Sometimes romance is sweeping your prince(ss) off his/her feet and carrying them away for a weekend of pampering. Sometimes, romance is also little gestures, a hundred I love you’s said without a word. And sometimes romance is scoping out shiny new weaponry to go take on the biggest, meanest monster you can find and having a rolicking good time with the adrenaline rush.

Lazard - mother

Lazard was raised by his mother, and while there were a few family friends that stepped in now and then, she was unquestionably the dominant influence when he was growing up. They were extremely close, and her death left a gaping hole in his life. It also cemented his difficulty in allowing himself to rely on others, as well as his fierce need to protect those he cares for. Even especially ones that are supposed to protect him.

Hojo - late nights

Say what you will about Hojo (and oh, people do) but you can’t fault the man’s work ethic. Before his breakdown over Sephiroth’s death, he was much less a mad scientist and merely a man with a broken moral compass. A man who was also an active director of a department above any actions as an independent scientist. And for the directors who did take their job seriously - Hojo amongst them - long hours and late nights were a way of life.
